questions about it. For questions 31 – 60, you are to choose the one best answer,
A,B,C,D, to each question. Then, on your answer sheet, find the number of the
question and fill in the space that corresponds to the letter of the answer you

stated or implied in that passage.

Questions 31
through 34 are based on the following reading.Elizabeth
Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated to New York City when she
was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That
was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century.
After writing many letters seeking admission to medical school, she was finally
accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. So determined was she, that she taught
school and gave music lessons to earn money for her tuition.
In1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her
education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection
forced her to abandon the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own
practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a
doctor, along with another female doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the
first for women and children. Besides being the first female physician and
founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical school for
women.31. Why
couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dreams of becoming a surgeon ?
A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical school.
B. She decided to further her education in Paris.
C. A serious eye infection halted her quest.
D. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States.
32. What main obstacle almost
destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor ?
A. She was a woman
B. She wrote too many letters
C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.
D. She couldn’t establish her hospital.33. How many
years elapsed between her graduation from medical school and the opening of her
hospital?
A. 8
B. 10
C. 19
D. 3634. All of
the following are “firsts” in the life of Elizabeth Blackwell, except :
A. she became the first female physician.
B. she was the first woman surgeon
C. she and several other women founded the first hospital for women and
children.
D. she established the first medical school for women.

Questions 35 through 38 are based on the following reading.Glands
manufacture and secrete necessary substances. Exocrine glands secrete their products
through ducts, but endocrine glands, or ductless glands release their products
directly into the bloodstream.
One important endocrine gland is the thyroid gland. It is in the neck and has
two lobes, one on each side of the windpipe. The thyroid gland collects iodine
from the blood and produces thyroxine, an important hormone, which is stores in
an inactive form. When thyroxine is needed by the body, the thyroid gland
excretes it directly into the bloodstream. Thyroxine is combined in the body
cells with other chemicals and affects many functions of the body.
The thyroid gland may be underactive or overactive, resulting in problems. An
underactive thyroid causes hypothyroidism, while an overactive one causes
hyperthyroidism. The former problem, called myxedema in adults and cretinism in
children, causes the growth process to slow down. A cretin’s body and mind do
not grow to their full potential. Hyperthyroidism, on the other hand, results
in extreme nervousness, an increase in heart action, and other problems.
Either hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism may result in goiter, or an enlarged
thyroid gland. A goiter will appear when the body is not getting enough iodine.
Goiter is less common today, since most people use iodized salt. 35. The
thyroid gland is called an endocrine gland
A. because it has ducts
B. because it has lobes
C. because it excretes directly into the bloodstream
D. because it is located in the neck. 36. A cretin
is
A. a child with hyperthyroidism
B. an adult with an underperforming thyroid gland
C. a young person with hypothyroidism
D. an extremely irritable child37. Which of
the following is a probable result of myxedema ?
A. sluggishness
B. hyperactivity
C. overproduction of thyroxine
D. perspiration38. A goiter
is
A. a person with myxedema
B. a swollen thyroid gland
C. an underactive thyroid gland
D. a chemical.

Questions 39 through 43 are based on the following reading.A recent
investigation by scientists at the US Geological Survey shows that strange
animal behavior might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such
occurrences in a ten – kilometer radius of the epicenter of a fairly recent
quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly; dogs yelped and ran around
uncontrollably.
Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as
early as several days before the mishap.
In 1976 after observing animal behavior, the Chinese were able to predict a
devastating quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the
government was able to evacuate millions of other people and thus keep the
death toll at a lower level. 39. What
prediction may be made by observing animal behavior ?
A. an impending earthquake
B. the number of people who will die
C. the ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter
D. environmental changes.40. Why can
animals perceive these changes when humans cannot ?
A. Animals are smarter than humans
B. Animals have certain instincts that humans don’t possess.
C. By running around the house, they can feel the vibrations.
D. Humans don’t know where to look.41. Which of
the following is not true
A. Some animals may be able to sense an approaching earthquake.
B. By observing animal behavior scientists perhaps can predict earthquakes.
C. The Chinese have successfully predicted an earthquake and saved many lives.
D. All birds and dogs in a ten-kilometer radius of the epicenter went wild
before the quake.42. In this
passage, the word evacuate most nearly means
A. remove
B. exile
C. destroy
D. emaciate43. If
scientists can accurately predict earthquakes, there will be :
A. fewer animals going crazy
B. a lower death rate
C. fewer people evacuated
D. fewer environmental changes.

Questions 44
through 47 are based on the following reading.As a result
of the recent oil crisis, 9.9 million of California’s 15 million motorists were
subjected to an old-even plan of gas rationing. The governor signed a bill
forcing motorists with license plates ending in odd numbers to buy gas only on
odd-numbered days, and those ending in even numbers on even-numbered days.

Questions 55 through 60 are based on the following reading.Vibrio
parahaemolyticus is a bacteria that has been isolated from sea water, shell
fish, finfish, plankton, and salt springs. It has been a major cause of food
poisoning in Japan and the Japanese have done several studies on it. They have
confirmed the presence of V. parahaemolyticus in the north and central Pacific
with the highest abundance in inshore waters, particularly in or near large
harbors.
A man named Nishio studied the relationship between the chloride content of sea
water and the seasonal distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea water and
concluded that while the isolation of V. parahaemolyticus was independent of
the sodium chloride content, the distribution of V. parahaemolyticus in sea
water was dependent on the water temperature. In fact, it has been isolated in
high frequencies during summer, from June to September, but was not isolated
with the same frequency in winter.
